Your processes change every week, but your systems can't keep up

You've spent six months validating a workflow change. By the time it ships, the process has already moved on. New products, new operators, new regulations, new suppliers. The work keeps evolving. The tools you use to run it keep falling behind.

Paper, spreadsheets, rigid MES, and brittle custom apps weren't built for manufacturing at today's pace. They can't adapt safely. They don't talk to each other. Every change goes through IT.

What manufacturing needs now is governed adaptability at operational speed.

The Status Quo
❌ Paper-based workflows that go stale between revisions
❌ MES rollouts that take 18+ months and resist change
❌ Disconnected data from machines, operators, and systems
❌ Tribal knowledge that walks out the door with turnover
❌ Every change becomes an IT ticket that sits in a queue
❌ Scaling best practices across plants becomes re-implementation

Continuously transform with a composable platform

Build robust, innovative solutions that fit the needs of your operations – today and in the future.

No-Code App Building

A solution built for the teams that run your operations

  • Operations Leaders

    Deploy workflow changes in days instead of quarters. Give process owners the tools to improve standard work continuously. Get real-time visibility into bottlenecks, exceptions, and OEE.

  • IT / OT Partners

    Open APIs, native edge connectivity, and enterprise-grade governance built for regulated manufacturing. Standardize across sites while reducing brittle custom apps and shadow IT.

  • Quality & Compliance

    Traceable execution records, controlled workflows, e-signatures, and validation support patterns. Governed adaptability for 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, and ITAR-regulated operations.

  • Executives

    Build adaptive operational capabilities that improve resilience, speed, quality, and asset utilization. Roll out across sites without losing control, standardization, or compliance.

Tulip is deployed in pharmaceutical, medical device, and aerospace & defense environments where compliance isn't optional. Governed adaptability, traceable execution records, and the controls your validation team expects.

The questions manufacturers ask us
  • What makes Tulip different from a traditional MES?

    Traditional MES platforms are rigid and slow to change. They were designed for stable processes that no longer exist. Tulip is a composable manufacturing platform: your frontline teams build and adapt the digital workflows operators use every day, with the governance and traceability regulated manufacturing requires. You deploy in weeks. You evolve in days. Many customers run Tulip alongside an existing MES as the frontline execution and adaptability layer.

  • Is Tulip just another no-code / low-code platform?

    No. Generic low-code platforms weren't designed for the shop floor. They lack native edge connectivity, operator-facing UX, validation patterns, and manufacturing-specific governance. Tulip is purpose-built for manufacturing execution: PLC and sensor connectivity, guided digital workflows, point-of-work data capture, and controlled rollout across sites are all native to the platform.

  • How long does implementation take?

    Most customers move fast, far faster than traditional MES allows.

    As Generac's Rick Ross (Sr. Director of Manufacturing Technology & Automation) puts it: "From the ideation to the implementation was somewhere between five and 10 days. If that was a traditional system, that would have probably been five to 10 months."

    Avon Technologies delivered what would have been an 18-month, $2M legacy program in six months. Full-line or multi-site rollouts typically happen in phases: start with one high-value workflow, prove it, then expand.

  • Can Tulip support GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, and validated environments?

    Yes. Tulip is deployed across leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, including AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Roche, and Organon, as well as medical device, aerospace, and defense environments.

    Our platform supports 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, e-signatures, audit trails, ITAR, GDPR, US DoC, and validation patterns. Our services team has specific implementation patterns for regulated operations. See the Trust Center for our full compliance posture.

  • How does Tulip fit with our existing ERP, MES, and QMS?

    Tulip is designed to be the operator-facing execution layer on top of your existing enterprise systems. It doesn't replace them. Native connectors integrate with SAP, Oracle, and all major ERP/MES/QMS platforms. Your operators work in Tulip; your systems of record stay intact and get cleaner, real-time data from the shop floor.

  • Can we start with a pilot and scale from there?

    Yes. This is the most common pattern among our customer base. Tulip allows you to start with a single workflow on one line, prove the ROI, then expand across stations, lines, and sites.

    Tulip's multi-site governance model supports standardization with local flexibility: corporate defines the standard app; sites localize for their equipment, language, or process variant, all within controlled rollout.

  • Who on our team builds with Tulip?

    Process engineers, continuous improvement teams, and operations leads: the people closest to the work. No software engineering background required. Tulip is designed so the domain experts who understand the process can build and evolve the system that runs it, with IT/OT governance guardrails in place.

  • What support resources does Tulip offer new customers?

    Every Tulip deployment is backed by a Customer Success Manager and access to our Services team for implementation help.

    New customers also get unlimited access to Tulip University (free, on-demand training courses for builders, operators, and admins), the Knowledge Base for product documentation, and the Tulip Community for peer support and direct contact with our product team. The Tulip Library gives you a head start on building, with pre-built app accelerators, connectors, and dashboards you can clone and adapt for your environment instead of starting from a blank canvas.

  • Does Tulip work with implementation partners?

    Yes. Tulip works with a global network of implementation partners, including system integrators, manufacturing consulting firms, and industry-specific specialists who deliver Tulip-based solutions to their customers.

    You can have Tulip Services lead the build, bring in a partner you already work with, or ask us to recommend one in your region or vertical. Learn about our partner program here →

  • How much does Tulip cost?

    Tulip pricing scales with your deployment and is priced per interface (the device upon which Tulip apps are run). Most customers start with a focused pilot and expand from there. See pricing details →
